### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2017-03-02*

This App has been wonderful for my son who started suffering from anxiety after a death in the family. It not only helps him to settle down and fall asleep, it also helps him for years to come by introducing him to mindfulness and meditation. I cannot recommend this app more.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2017-01-08, version 1.2*

I use this app with my 12 year old who has a hard time falling asleep. It has never failed us as he is asleep within 10 minutes of starting. It brings relaxation to his body and most importantly, his mind.

### 5/5 — Review

*2016-05-06, version 1.1*

Two thumbs up. Wish they would add more guided meditations .

### 5/5 — Intro to mindfulness for a 6 year old

*2016-04-28, version 1.1*

My 6 year-old is enjoying this. it helps her relax and fall asleep at the end of the day.

### 5/5 — Great helping you sleep

*2016-04-12, version 1.1*

I fell asleep right after doing this its relaxing and gets your mind of of stressful things in life.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2019-11-25, version 1.4*

You have to pay for this app and it offers very little. I think you get a total of 5 nature sounds recordings and 5 guided meditations. The guided meditations are only the speaker and no background sounds. I’ve seen better free apps that offer so much more. I’m requesting my money back.

**Developer response:** Hi Master rater. We are so sorry to hear that. 
When you introduces your family to the practice of mindfulness meditation for children we believe that you don't need +100 meditations.
The best thing about our Mindfulness for Children app is that it has so much focus on the body, bodily sensations and what we are currently sensing.
All feelings are felt in the body, what we experience produces feelings, what we sense brings forth emotions. Therefore, the same body scan can be experienced very differently from person to person and also different from day to day.
Therefore, the same exercises can be used infinitely many times as there is always something new to discover.

We hope you would like to give it another try. We worked hard for making this app.
And hey..... There are a lot of new meditations coming up soon......
All the best to you

**Developer response:** Hello. I’m happy that you like our app. However, I’m not sure what you mean with repetition?

### 2/5 — Eh...

*2016-07-26, version 1.1*

The app is find but meditations could be more kid friendly. They're too long and serious.  Didn't like the language (pelvis).

### 3/5 — It’s ok...

*2018-03-10, version 1.2*

But is not helping my 9 year old daughter to fall asleep. She has ADHD.

**Developer response:** Hello, I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe your daughter need to get used to the meditations ? Sometimes kids have to use the app for some times before they get the benefits of meditations. Good luck.

### 4/5 — Great, just one problem

*2020-08-25, version 2.0*

I love this app. The sounds of nature are super calming, and the guided meditation is really cool. I have found to really like the bell meditation. But I have found one problem.

When I was thinking about getting this, all of the past reviews said things that there were meditation items that I couldn't find in this app. And even a few of them said that they didn't have to update to find them! So the fact that I can't find some of the things that they said like ‘check-in's’ and other stuff, makes be want to use the app less. But I like this app and want to use it anyway! But if you could fix this problem, or just tell me that the app doesn't have those things, that would be awesome. 
Thanks!
😻😛💎

This has honestly helped me so much! My daughter who is a social worker showed me this app when I was having a hard time sleeping. It really relaxes you and sends you off into dreamland.

### 5/5 — Helpful for my 11 year old

*2017-06-05, version 1.2*

Really wanted to teach my 11 year old how to calm his mind at night time and fall asleep a little easier. This is a really helpful app that we've done a few times now and definitely is helping him to switch off his mind. Thumbs up!

**Developer response:** Hi Joanna,
Thank you so much. What a lovely review to have here on AppStore. Have a nice day.❤️ Jannik & Pia.

### 5/5 — Very helpful for calming the mind!

*2017-04-06, version 1.2*

For some children, like my 11-yr-old son, it's hard to not get distracted, to be able to focus easily and to calm the mind when it's time to relax. Meditation is very useful to get these skills as habits. I think this app will help him to get there.

**Developer response:** Hi, Thank you so much for your review, We are so happy to hear this. Have a nice day. Warm regards Jannik & Pia.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2017-03-13*

This app has really helped me as a kid just to find peace and quiet and to fall asleep and to not worry about other things, so calming

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words, Have a nice day. Warm regards Jannik
